How’s that for a long name? If you have any better suggestions, I want to her ‘em! It’s hard coming up with recipe names, especially when a recipe is really good and you want the world to make it. I feel like I have to include everything that’s good about it in the name or the masses will never know of its goodness. And then I cry.

These rolls make a great a great grab-n-go breakfast and also fare well at the dinner table. I served them with sautéed asparagus the other night and it was a hit! They reheat beautifully in the microwave and you can even freeze them.

I used sourdough rolls because they are denser than most regular dinner rolls which makes them good for soaking up the egg. Regular rolls will work just fine if they have a crusty outside that the egg won’t seep out of as easily.

Ingredients

• 12 sourdough dinner rolls
• 6 lg eggs
• 1/3 C + 1 tbsp heavy whipping cream
• 6 oz. pork breakfast sausage
• 2 oz. or 1/2 C sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt
• a few grinds black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Cut a small, deep circle in the tops of the rolls being careful not to pierce the bottom. Remove the cut circle and any more needed bread with your fingers until the roll looks like a mini bread bowl. Brown the sausage until slightly crisp and drain of any fat. Set aside until lightly cooled as to not curdle the egg. Combine the eggs and heavy cream, whisking until well combined and smooth. Add the cheese, onion, salt, pepper, and sausage. With a measuring spoon or cookie scoop, evenly distribute the egg mixture between the cut rolls until it is all used. Cover the rolls with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour, up to overnight. Remove from fridge and bake in a preheated oven at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a knife inserted into the middle of the roll comes out clean and the egg is set.
